Re: Blue Man

A-ha! Now I know your character stats! Since we are in the same group I will make sure mine is better

hi. I was building a martial artist who stayed desolid whilst fighting and was wondering if "affects physical world" limitation had to be paid on strength or on the martial arts package...or both.

thanks...

Re: In which Chad thanks those who probably will never read this.

Yes, thank you to all my old gaming buddies too. This is a good thread....

Thank you to:

Brian (BKS) for introducing me to D&D all those years ago

Kevin for showing up late every single game

Daniel for introducing me to Champions and showing me how to cheese

Rita for showing up whenever she felt like it, lol...

Calvin for being the last of the group to hang around...

and thank you to the OP for posting this thread.

Re: Campaign idea

Sounds like a great setting.

The recurring sound/Things that go *BUMP*

Every night in the dead hours (midnight to 2 or 3 am), as everything is still, you hear a sound like a body or large item falling down the steps. When you go out to investigate, there is nothing there, just as quiet as it had been...

For my money, any game you're willing to pay for has that clause! It's your time, it's your cash, do what you and your friends want to.

G. Gygax pretty much said the same thing about running a D&D game "...and lastly, If you don't know the answer...make it up" or something along those lines in a DM guide some years ago.

I think I will go ahead and take the plunge and buy it. I don't have any players here but hopefully I can find some.

Re: Old School vs. New School

Thanks very much to all who responded. It is indeed fourth edition Champions soft cover which many eons ago I had cut, laminated, and wire bound because the spine of the book just couldn't handle all the constant punishment . There were some things wrong with the game... like being able to create stupidly powerful characters with just 250 points... but that falls upon the GM I suppose...

Re: Help Me Populate A Creepy Hotel

Do you mind if I borrow some of these ideas? I was going to run a Cthulu-esque game set in the 1920's and some of these people would be great...

Re: Help Me Populate A Creepy Hotel

Well slap me around and call me Susie!

I did not know that. I guess I had best read up on a few things before I start doing (and saying) equally dumb stuff...

Re: Help Me Populate A Creepy Hotel

Feels like a great movie setting, lol.

And here I deliver my first helping of Rep...

Great thread. Great posts by other members as well.

Hey folks. I'm new to the forum and am a fan of Champions from eons ago. I haven't tried the new version and was wondering how much difference there is between the edition I have (from the late 80's) and the new. Is it worth the money or should I stick with my old edition?

Thanks!

Re: Help Me Populate A Creepy Hotel

BTW, this is a great thread. This would be great if set in an older hotel with a 1920's thru 1940's flair.

The Skittish/Paranoid Kid

This boy of about 14 or 15 years old is friendly enough but always looks around nervously. When you talk to him he will allways look over your shoulder nervously as if expecting something to happen or as if looking at something or someone. Sometimes he will look to the sides but never over his own shoulder. You never see exactly what it is he is looking at or looking for.

The Unfriendly Maid

The maid that you see everywhere, possibly Hispanic (seems to be left out on this forum and you see a lot of Hispanic ladies working as maids in hotels...I work at a Marriott and see them), is always giving you one of 'Those Looks' like you don't belong. When you speak to her she simply turns away and continues on down the hallway.
